Let's face it: the French have gotten a bad rap. Mention that you're considering a trip to France and everyone will warn you about rude waiters, supercilious shopkeepers, and snooty concierges who won't give you the time of day--and worse, pretend not to understand your high-school French. Not so, says Polly Platt, author of French or Foe?; "The French are generous, exhilarating friends," but they are different--wonderfully so. The trick to getting along in France is understanding the culture and learning to accept it on French terms instead of your own. Though the book is designed primarily for people who will be living or working in France for extended periods, the lessons Platt teaches about manners, attitudes, and culture are invaluable for even those visitors just passing through..

Cherry Ames, Flight Nurse The United States is still fighting World War II. Cherry Ames is still an Army nurse, this time aloft--as a flight nurse. Cherry is reunited with her corpsman Bunce, and the two of them are in sole charge of ferrying severely wounded men out of the battlefield and to the nearest Army hospital. Much to Pilot Wade Cooper's chagrin--until Cherry makes him see otherwise--he has been taken off bomber duty to fly the wounded to safety. Off duty, the nurses "adopt" 6-year-old Muriel Grainger, who has known nothing but war in her short life, and whose mother has been killed by the Germans. Her father is often out on mysterious errands that cause some to label him "spy." Cherry makes it her risky business to find out if this is truth or rumor.

Cherry Ames, Veteran's Nurse The war is over, and Cherry is sent home. Her new assignment is working in a hospital for veterans, where she finds her biggest challenge is raising the spirits of men who have lost arms, legs, or other body parts. Will they be welcomed back to their families and be able to work again? Jim Travers, the woodworker who has lost a leg and was the sole support of his elderly mother, isn't convinced. But he finds he is of critical assistance to Cherry as she tracks the mysterious thief who has robbed the Veteran's Center of a medicine that can help a small boy recover from a deadly disease.

Cherry Ames, Private Duty Nurse Cherry has been finally discharged from the Army and is back to civilian life. What should she do next after her intense years of Army nursing? Dr. Joe finds her a job as the private nurse of a celebrated musician suffering from a dangerous heart condition. How can Cherry help him avoid the deadly stress his devoted sister unintentionally causes when she visits fortuneteller after fortuneteller? Will their family secret be revealed?

Cherry Ames, Visiting Nurse Cherry reunites with her old Spencer classmates, Gwen, Bertha, Josie, Vivian, and Mai Lee, when they all decide to take an apartment together in New York City and work for the Visiting Nurse Service of New York. Greenwich Village is a far cry from Hilton, Illinois, and farm-raised Bertha is ready to mutiny when she tries to cook in their tiny kitchen. Assigned to a specific neighborhood, Cherry marvels at the many countries from which her patients come, and she is determined to resolve the loneliness of a few of them by having them all meet at an "Around the World" dinner at the local settlement house. But who is the mysterious woman who lives in the Victorian mansion at the center of her district? Why hasn't she been seen by anyone in the past 18 years?.
